Sažetak
The paper explores and describes the importance and the role of migrant entrepreneurship, emphasizing trends and perspectives in the EU countries compared to the Republic of Croatia. Migrant entrepreneurship characterizes entrepreneurial activities and ventures undertaken by individuals outside the countries where they were born or raised. In contrast, migrants are people who leave their countries of birth to strive for more opportunities and personal growth. Immigrants are more entrepreneurial and likely to take risks than domestic residents. A strong affirmation of multiculturalism is highly associated with migrant entrepreneurship. The methods used are historical, desk research, analysis, synthesis, and comparison. The paper is written as secondary research using available domestic and foreign literature as a source of data collection. Research results are based on the extensive review of secondary data and historical research, identifying significant trends in migrant entrepreneurship in western Europe and the US. Additionally, challenges and aspects of migrant entrepreneurship in Croatia show legislative barriers and a lack of measures to support and encourage migrant entrepreneurship. Migrant entrepreneurship is slowly growing in Croatia but still not significantly impacting the local economy compared to the western European countries. It is necessary to raise awareness of the positive effects of migrant entrepreneurship, emphasizing an excellent opportunity to reduce unemployment and contribute to economic growth.
